OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Submission for OMB Review and Request for Comments on Federal
Wage System Data Collection Forms

AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Public
Law 104-13, May 22, 1995), this notice announces that the Office of
Personnel Management (OPM) has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget a request for review of data collection forms. The
Establishment Information Form, the Wage Data Collection Form, and the
Wage Data Collection Continuation Form are wage survey forms developed
by OPM and used by two lead agencies, the Department of Defense and the
Department of Veterans Affairs. Data collectors survey 21,200
businesses annually to determine the level of wages paid by private
sector establishments for representative jobs common to both private
industry and the Federal Government. Each survey collection requires 1-
4 hours of respondent burden, resulting in a total yearly burden of
75,800 hours. The lead agencies use this information to establish rates
of pay for Federal Wage System employees. For copies of this proposal,
contact Jim Farron on (202) 418-3208, or email to
jmfarron@mail.opm.gov.

DATES: Comments on this proposal must be received within 30 calendar
days after September 5, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Send or deliver comments to--Donald J. Winstead, Assistant
Director for Compensation Policy, Human Resources Systems Service,
Office of Personnel Management, 1900 E Street NW., Room 7H31,
Washington, DC 20415.
